Took the liberty of googling Tortoise Forums for you. Probably the best advice found on them. Plenty to choose from.

Cheers i will have a look on there. Was just wandering if anyone had them, or if they know people who have them. Recently got one and there are so many different things and different ways of doing it.

We have a tortoise. He's a great pet and has a wonderful personality. Hates fluffy pets though...

I have always wanted a tortoise!!

But wasnt sure about getting one incase i had not read up enough on the set-ups required for them! Wouldnt want to get it wrong and harm the poor things!

I have read every encyclopedia about them though because they are facinating.
